''Pick-Ups that will automatically be taken a certain time after they have appeared.''

Some pick-ups in games are created temporarily just so that players can have the experience of picking them up if they want to

This pattern is a still a stub.

=== Examples ===
Several Social Media Games, e.g. [[FarmVille]], [[CityVille]], [[Little Cave Hero]], and [[Zombie Lane]] have [[Automated Pick-Ups]] for each type of reward that appears when players have successfully completed an action.

== Using the pattern ==
[[Automated Pick-Ups]] are, rather obviously, [[Pick-Ups]] but ones that have [[Time Limits]] be they are automatically retrieved. Using them in [[Single-Player Games]] is unproblematic since their is only one eligible player to retrieve them but if they are to be used in [[Multiplayer Games]] additional design choices need to be made on who received them: the one that made them appear, the one that is closest when the [[Time Limits|Time Limit]] ran out, or some other rule.

This pattern is mainly used in games which wishes to increase their [[Clickability]] by making [[Rewards]] be appear as [[Geospatial Game Widgets]]

 They often have [[Time Limits]] after which they are automatically retrieved, but can be designed to provide extra [[Rewards]] for being manually picked up if additional [[Clickability]] is wanted.
